Same here.

Quite a nice night tonight and a fair bit of low-flying air traffic using LBA and MAN, so I actually spent more time looking them up on Flightradar24.

Yes, gorgeous clear skies today and tonight. Garden full of foxes waiting for their dinner in daylight tonight. The vixen who has visited for the past few years and is almost tame (to me but no one else) seems to have kept her last litter with her this year which I don't think is natural behaviour. They are sticking together like a little gang at the moment but should have scattered to the four winds by now in normal development. I think something has changed for them though. As adaptable creatures I think they have reacted to an enormous increase in house building nearby, and rather than fight and noisily squabble for territory they have instinctively realised this unity with me as the benefactor is the most rewarding and logical route to take. I love foxes, hopefully as much as Chris Packham does. If there's anything worthwhile that our new king can do then it's surely to recognise this man and anyone else who publicly makes a plea for animal welfare. Go Vulpes vulpes!

Yes, their position against a twilight sky at around 10pm last night gave me a magnificent head-on view from the end of my drive.  Never been so awe-struck while putting the recycling bins out...  :)

Noticed that while out on the bike, though I didn't realise it was Jupiter. Nice.

Saw them when I got back from Tesco last night, almost tempted me to get my 4.5" out, but it was a bit chilly...
